CHAP. LXXII. That being highly affected with Grief in regard of his Piety, he was necessitated to shed tears; and, that on this account, he put off the Journey he was about to make into the East.

REstore therefore to us peaceable and serene days, and nights void of care; that the pleasure of the pure Light, and the joy of a quiet life may in future be reserved for us also. Which if [we shall] not [obtain,] we must of neces∣sity groan, and be wholly surrounded with Tears; nor shall we finish the residue of our Life without great disquietude. For, whilst the people of God, (we mean our Fellow-Servants,) are rent in sun∣der by this unreasonable and pernitious Contention one with another, how is it possible for us in future to continue in a sedate temper of mind? But, that you may be sensible of our excessive Grief on ac∣count of this matter, [* 1.1 be attentive to what we shall tell you:] when we lately came to the City Nicomedia, we had resolved forthwith to have made a journey into the East. But whilst we were hastning unto you, and a 1.2 by the greatest part were with you, b 1.3 the news of this af∣fair * 1.4 quite altered our Resolution: that we might not be necessitated to behold with our eyes those things of which we accounted even the Report to be intollera∣ble. Do you therefore in future, by your unani∣mity, open a way for us into the East, which by your mutuall Contentions you have stop't up. Give us leave with joy speedily to see you, and all the rest of the people, and that with an una∣nimous consent of praises we may attribute to God due thanks for the Concord and Liberty of all persons.

That is, in mind and thought. For the mind is the greater and the better part of any one. But Christophorson thought the meaning was the greater part of his journey; which is not to be endured. Vales.
